Thanks very much Maureen. I have a question for folks about usage, if anyone has a view please – We’re currently upgrading to version 6 of DSpace, from version 5, and it seems some of our embargo functionality and processes will probably need to change.
1. We’ve always let the users set the dc.date.embargo field for their item when they submit a deposit. And when that embargo date comes around, DataShare has a cron job which automatically deletes that field and replaces it with a dc.date.available field containing today’s date. We’ve seen information that DSpace’s embargo-lifter script is going to be switched off at some time, and we don’t know for sure whether our cron job uses embargo-lifter, and whether we’re going to have to start doing this two-step process (deleting embargo date and adding date available) manually for every embargo that previously would just expire automatically. 2. Whereas, we know that the availability of the bitstreams is taken care of by the policies, when the embargo expires automatically. So we’re not worried about that. But just for completeness – we are adjusting our process to manually edit the read policies through the authorizations control instead of using the field for bitstream embargo date, which has been disabled so it’s not editable in the demo version of DSpace 6 that we’re running. Would be interested to hear whether others are manually tracking when their embargo dates will expire etc as I’ve described in (1) above, or are you not using dc.date.embargo at all? We’re trying to spend less of our time re-inventing the wheel, but we’re not sure any more which bits of the wheel we got came from our previous developer and which are out-of-the-box DSpace.
